County improvements.

| Those who live in the country adjacent to
Savannah doubtless appreciate the benefits
they enjoy from the new roads which have
been opened and the old ones which have been
| repaired. Nothing since its settlement has
| contributed more to the prosperity of this
city than the improvement of the highways
and drainage of this county.
There is, however, a great deal yet TO be
done in the way OF improvements of this
character, particularly west of the city.
That section will be attended to as soon as
the County Engineers physical condition
will permit him 10 resume his duties
An improvement that ought to be made,
and one that would pay the city well, is a
road across Hutchinson's Island. Such a
road would bring Savannah into close re-
lations with thickly settled section of
country, which would greatly increase her
retail trade. The section in question is that
portion of South Carolina on the north
bank Of the Savannah river, extending
from Catalogue Sound to the Charleston
and Savannah railway. The people there
have no easy and cheap way of getting to
this city. They want to trade here, and
would do 50 if an easy way were opened for
them to reach here.
A road across Hutchinson's Island, which
could be built at a comparatively small cost,
and which would also answer as protection
to the island-the greater part of which is
the city's property-against overhows,
would afford them the way they want OF
course couple of ferries would be needed,
but the outlay for the entire improve
ment would be a good investment. A
large trade would flow into the city over the
road, and it would be steadily increasing
trade. The sea island cotton and rice
growing part of Beaufort county would
alone contribute largely to our annual trade
Let us have the Hutchinson Island road, and
all other improvements that will help the
city forward on the road to greater pros
unrity

The Gettysburg Reunion.

The attention Of the country is turned to
ward the famous battlefield of Gettysburg
The reunion that is being held there is a
notable one. The survivors of Pickett's ia
nous division are the guests Of the survivors
ofthe Pennsylvania regiments which resisted
Pickett's splendid final charge upon Gene
terry Ridge. These veterans arc encamped
upon the field of about the greatest battle
Of the war, and are talking over the scenes
and incidents of that memorable contest.
No trace Of bitter feeling mars their inter
course. They are sad only when they re
call the brave and honored comrades who
laid down their lives in the cause for which
they fought, and those who have passed
away since the close Of the great civil strife.
This reunion will be followed by others,
and each one will draw the Northern aud
Southern people more closely together. the
survivors f the Army Of the Potomac will
hold their reunion at Gettysburg next year,
and the survivors Of the Army of North
ern Virginia hive been invited to meet
them there. OF course the invitation will
be accepted, and very enjoyable occasion
it will doubtless be. These reunions
serve to offset the reckless and irritating
speeches of those who seek to keep alive
sectional feeling for partisan purposes

All Sorts and Conditions

Every day there is fresh proof that the
world is filed with "all sorts and conditions
of men" Quiet people, those who obey the
laws of morality and of the State, are
sometimes annoyed by what they see and
hear Of the misdeeds of others, totally I'M
able TO account for the motives which lead
to crime. They cannot understand why all
men are not obedient to law When some
dreadful tragedy is enacted, the result of
some man's uncontrolled temper, these are
the people who say to each other: GLOW
could he have done it"
1t is a fact well known that human nature
is sometimes SO perverted that it becomes
inhuman. There was that man, for in
stance, who not long ago put his arm around
his wife, said God bless you" and the next
instant shot her dead. Then there was
another man who caressed his mother with
one hand while with the other he stabbed
her to the heart. These were of sort
much too common. What their "con-
ditions" were it is easy for those who know
the world to understand.
Of a sort perhaps more peculiar than any
other yet covered was that young man
who lived in the village of Lockport Ohio.
About year ago he married n beautiful
young woman. Apparently they lived
happily together, for neither gave hint of
dissatisfaction. A few days ago, another
man fell in love with the young wife, He
was wealthy, and be determined, if
possible, to buy her. He went
to the husband and offered him
5000 for her. The offer was accepted,
both husband and wife agreeing to the bar
gain, and the money was paid down and the
other man took his human chattel and de-
parted for the West. The next day the
husband was filed with remorse, and deeply
regretted that he had been So foolish as "a
sell his wife for such a paltry sum. He
cursed himself because no had not insisted
on larger sum. The conditions" of this
man, Of the other man, and of the wife were
depraved almost beyond comprehension.
Ten thousand other cases might be cited
20 show what a tumble of humanity there is
in the world. High and low, rich and poor
sound and lame, well and sick, good and bad
--'all sorts and conditions of men"-mingle
with each other and then disappear TO be
succeeded by Others of the same sorts and
conditions. The upright and contented are
the only sort whose conditions" make life
worth living. 1t is pity that all are not OF
| this sort.
